For actively developed plan9 tools on unix see Russ Cox's (now of the Go project) work.

There is also the 9vx project which virtualises x86 using vx32 and then uses plan9 as an example - http://swtch.com/9vx/ http://swtch.com/9vx/
Plan9 also works in vm's such as qemu
- RexRollman 12y agoI did this a few weeks ago on an OS X machine and it worked wonderfully. I installed it to give Sam a try, as I am learning Ed and wanted to compare them. I had once hoped that Google would resurrect Plan 9, since they have so many former AT&T employees on staff. All it really needs it modern drivers, a wireless stack, and a browser (which they have with Chrome). Alas, it is not to be.
- stonogo 12y agoThere is a version of plan 9 with better drivers and wifi: https://code.google.com/p/plan9front/ https://code.google.com/p/plan9front/ I've never used it but I can't imagine it has a browser. The two surviving browser cores (webkit/blink and gecko) are both utter nightmares of C++ and/or XUL, neither of which has any runtime support on plan 9.
- vezzy-fnord 12y agoThere's two native browsers for Plan 9 and 9front: Mothra and Abaco. They're not modern, obviously. I think Links is able to work on it, too. That said, I think it was possible to run old versions of Firefox in Linuxemu.
